I found that codimd cannot render complex latex equations, for example, the following latex

$$
\alpha
$$

can be rendered correctly, while

$$
\alpha\beta
$$

cannot be rendered, (rendered equation disappear immediately, then invisible forever)

I've noticed that there is room for improvement in the way slides are HTML-previewed in CodiMD (as opposed to how they're shown in the actual reveal.js slide mode), for example the way lists and bullets are centered or the fact that notes (which should be hidden on a slide) appear as text (see below). I find this very distracting when working on a presentation.

I would like to customize this and perhaps offer it as PR should there be interest. Before I do that, it would be good to know:

1. is there a particular reason this hasn't been done before? Would anybody be against, for instance, hiding notes in the HTML-view of Markdown slides?
2. is index.css the logical place to add aside.notes {display:none;} in?

The dependency js-sequence-diagrams has been replaced by a security holding package in the NPM registry.

It's also worth noting that the upstream repo (bramp/js-sequence-diagrams) didn't maintain the NPM package, in fact they only supported Bower builds (bramp/js-sequence-diagrams#212).

I'm trying (unsuccessfully) to get CodiMD served up at https://server.com/codimd

I'm wondering a couple of things as I peruse the docs and issues. Firstly am I doing something wrong? I'm starting CodiMD with the following variables.

CMD_DOMAIN=server.com
CMD_PROTOCOL_USESSL=true
CMD_URL_PATH=codimd

Secondly is it possibly broken at the moment?
I normally assume I'm doing something wrong, but I came across this commit from this issue so I just wondered if anyone could clarify?

I have successfully deployed CodiMD using a dedicated subdomain on codimd.server.com without any issues.

Thanks!

The bottom half of the last line of text is hidden by the bottom bar when using the Both view and the Edit view

I recently heard about CodiMD and immediately downloaded it and started playing with it. I was amazed at how well the markdown engine worked. Well done! As I continued to play with it, one thing stood out that would make it way easier to use for me, pinning a tag to the nav bar.

Right now at the top there are two choices, Intro and History. It would be awesome if I could pin certain tags to the top nav bar. Basically it would be a saved search for the tag specified.

In addition, being able to either remove the Intro tab, since it isn't useful after set up, or customize that view with link to common tags or info would also be very helpful.

Problem found by my colleague.

Reproduce instructions

1. Create a new note on https://demo.codimd.org with the following content:

# Note deletion test

2. Open a new tab and browse https://demo.codimd.org, in the "History" view, click the "Note deletion test" note's cross button on the top left corner and select "Yes, do it!" button in the note deletion prompt
3. Go back to the original tab and refresh the page.

Expected behavior

The original note is no longer available as it is "deleted"

Current behavior

The original note is still available with its content retained.

On the homepage of a given instance (including the demo server), there's an extra E at the end of the URL for Slide Mode.

This breaks the link so, when you click it, you're taken to the top of the Features document rather than the #Slide-Mode section.

https://demo.codimd.org/features#Slide-Modee
https://demo.codimd.org/features#Slide-Mode

I don't really know whats happening, maybe I misconfigured something, but I'm sure the server should not crash :D

A page with a list of all documents a particular user can access. Maybe only for users who have an account, so it lets us have "secret documents" not publicly listed for anonymous visitors but still open to anyone we send the link.

When connected, before the tab "History", a new tab "All notes", and inside all the accessible notes for me.

As mentioned in the Matrix channel.
When I refresh https://demo.codimd.org/s/rkb4P1p5Q# the view counter is always increased by 2.

I guess that the reason is @SISheogorath's missing avatar, which has a style="background-image: url();", while the document is requested a second time as an image., However, Chromium shows the JS initiator, but I can't copy it.

Hi all! Thanks for your amazing work :)

There's an issue with the night mode: two out of three view mode buttons do not use a darker colour when selected (the buttons right next to "CodiMD" in the toolbar). "View" does have a darker colour when pressed, as expected, but "Both" and "Edit" don't. (Actually, when looking very closely, there is a slight difference but it is barely noticeable.)

I am using demo.codimd.org.

Cheers

Hi,

I had problems uploading images but could fix it as described in Server crashes on upload to filesystem but what obviously happened was a server crash. I lost a document (only had a heading in it) and so it doesn't matter. But when I now Export user data I have some strange files in the archive like:

.md
-1.md
-2.md
-3.md
-4.md
-5.md
...and the rest of my files which look ok

The above files have 0 bytes.

I assume this happened due to the crash. My question is, how can I clean them out? - Any ideas.

Thanks in advance

Peter

The probably most important aspect of an open source project is the community. This is why we try to have semi-regular community calls. We use a tele-conferencing software (usually jitsi) for this. It is one more way to keep in in touch and to make your voice heard.

Usually we schedule these on the first sunday of a month at 18:00 UTC, but this is not set in stone.

If you wish to be notified, please subscribe yourself to this issue. We will add new appointments here and you'll get an email when we do.

I ran into a weird situation just now. I was not able to figure out the source of the problem, but here is the symptom:

Something or someone created an article with the Note ID but as an alias. This made accessing the actual document impossible. An example:

The real document: https://example.com/KVlJ9-dBQWKrMYWnq3Z1BA
Somehow another document with this url (alias/free url!): https://example.com/kvlj9-dbqwkrmywnq3z1ba

Whenever you would follow the first link, this code here would find an alias (because this match apparently is case-insensitive?) ...

https://github.com/codimd/server/blob/6462968e84e8d92292dd23764a9e558d7800147d/lib/models/note.js#L143-L151

... and then would redirect you to the "correct" spelling of the faulty alias.

https://github.com/codimd/server/blob/6462968e84e8d92292dd23764a9e558d7800147d/lib/response.js#L184

Hello everyone,

when trying to log-in to my CodiMD using OAuth2 after authenticating on my Nextcloud I get an Internal Server Error on https://<mycodimd>/auth/oauth2/callback?state=&code=<code.

The OAuth2 part of my config.json:

            "clientSecret": "<client secret>",
            "authorizationURL": "https://<my cloud>/apps/oauth2/authorize",
            "tokenURL": "https://<my cloud>/apps/oauth2/api/v1/token",

            "userProfileDisplayNameAttr": "ocs.data.display-name",
            "userProfileEmailAttr": "ocs.data.email"
        },

This has some similarities to the problem I had when first setting up my CodiMD: hackmdio/codimd#1056.

I can't really say when it worked the last time, but it did once, but now I can't log back in anymore. Any ideas?

Hello,
I've seen some installations with the option to export as PDF, but it seems to be disabled in the official demo.
What's the reason to have it disabled? Was this feature removed some time ago?

Andi

Is it possible to provide a prebuilt installation. Maybe even with a gui to install?
I'm using a shared hosting service and the possibilities to built codimd on the server are very limited.

I've recently updated to 1.3.2 and I'm running CodiMD from a Docker container (from a custom-built image; with only a couple of configuration changes in config.json). The presentation mode is not working for me an any more. The example slides that come with CodiMD, for instance, are stuck on the first slide with a (quite disturbing Parks&Rec 😃) gif in the background repeating itself.

See here.

The console reports different errors in Safari and Firefox. In Safari:

and in Firefox, only the latter.

I've played with the Content Security Policy in Nginx, and, for instance, I managed to get rid of these errors by using proxy_hide_header "content-security-policy"; and setting up a very permissive CSP in the /location but that did not resolve the issue with the slides: even with no errors being reported in the console, the slides were still not working.

I am really at a loss about how to troubleshoot this. I absolutely love CodiMD so I would really appreciate any tips or ideas about how to proceed here.

Many thanks in advance.

I recently tried adding a small logo to one of my documents with the syntax and while that works flawlessly I also noticed that this would display the un-interpreted line as the "document name" in the personal history. That basically makes the title unreadable. Other common markdown tags such as italic, bold etc are already ignored as far as I can tell.

So my feature request would be to remove interpretable tags from the header alltogether.

I recently set CMD_DROPBOX_APPKEY. Setting the key enabled Dropbox support but does not play well with the default install (I'm using Docker).

• I needed to add www.dropbox.com as a valid CSP script-src to config.json.
• when the page loads a CSP violation causes the e.g. spell checker to break:

   Refused to execute inline script because it violates the following Content Security Policy directive: "script-src www.dropbox.com 'self' vimeo.com https://gist.github.com www.slideshare.net https://query.yahooapis.com 'unsafe-eval' https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com https://cdn.mathjax.org 'nonce-429d68fb-28fe-4ce2-a9fb-a2c1c5cffcf1' 'sha256-Lc+VnBdinzYTTAkFrIoUqdoA9EQFeS1AF9ybmF+LLfM='". Either the 'unsafe-inline' keyword, a hash ('sha256-6wRdeNJzEHNIsDAMAdKbdVLWIqu8b6+Bs+xVNZqplQw='), or a nonce ('nonce-...') is required to enable inline execution.
  

It looks like the wiki for this repo is disabled or empty? When I click it, nothing happens. Would it be possible to enable it?

Maybe we can just clone https://github.com/hackmdio/codimd.wiki.git and push it here for a start. It has some important pages like https://github.com/hackmdio/codimd/wiki/Environment-Variables

Most of the things in #23 are completed, but I think this deserves its own issue:

[...] the label changes to the last chosen file's name. Not sure whether this is intended, but I guess it's due to the <input type="file">.
And you get no response if the chosen file type is not supported.

Originally posted by @HerHde in #23 (comment)

When clicking the pencil icon ("Edit this note") in a published note page, the default mode should be "Both" (i.e. code on left, rendered on right) rather "View", the current default. That is, if the user has editing rights I guess.

Tested with "Freely" setting.

I've started using Joplin for todo lists, note taking, etc. and it has a feature I would really like to see in CodiMD. You can do abbreviations for words that, when hovered over, display the expanded term. The syntax is just * [TermAbbr]: Expanded term and it goes on a line near the bottom. Any time TermAbbr shows up in the parsed document, it has a wavy underline and, when hovered over, displays Expanded term.

It's part of the markdown-it parser and they have a demo website you can look at. The abbreviations portion is at the very bottom.

Hi,

We are using our own instance of CodiMd on a Debian 9 server.

Everything was working fine until we tried to upgrade from v1.2x to v1.3.2 yesterday.
We switched to the new repo and followed the manual: "How to upgrade your installation".

There were a few dependancies issues, but we managed to fix them.
Now when we launch the app.js, we get the following error :

codimd@codimd:/opt/codimd$ node app.js
2019-04-15T22:01:50.771Z warn: 	Neither 'domain' nor 'CMD_DOMAIN' is configured. This can cause issues with various components.
Hint: Make sure 'protocolUseSSL' and 'urlAddPort' or 'CMD_PROTOCOL_USESSL' and 'CMD_URL_ADDPORT' are configured properly.
2019-04-15T22:01:50.774Z warn: 	Session secret not set. Using random generated one. Please set `sessionSecret` in your config.js file. All users will be logged out.
2019-04-15T22:01:51.505Z info: 	dmp worker process started
>> WARNING: SQLite does not support TEXT with options. Plain `TEXT` will be used instead.

But all the options mentioned in this error message are defined in our config.json file, and furthermore we are using Mysql, not Sqlite.
It seems that our config file is now entirely ignored.
The permissions on this file have not changed, the owner is still the user codimd, and it is readable.

So we are a bit at a loss atm, any help will be greatly appreciated :)

Hi, first of all thank you for your great work. Besides the "normal" CodiMD features I am currently exploring the Slideshow features as well and I think I could replace my current digital signage solution with CodiMD/reveal.js.

I created a Slideshow using CodiMD, published it and pointed a full-screen browser to the published URL.

How can I force the browser to refresh the content when I changed the slideshow inside CodiMD, I mean instant updates like they happen with "normal" CodiMD content?

I don't know how exactly reveal.js is implemented in CodiMD but is there a way to use the reveal.js socket feature eg. to run slideshows simultaniously?
I know I could do that with reveal.js itself but hey, CodiMD is such a cool backend for doing it, why not?

In the future I could see CodiMD also becoming a great backend for a digital signage solution. One can use CodiMD to edit and host the digital signage content without the need for commercial reveal.js backends like slides.com

Thanks and keep this good work going!

Peter

Just porting this old issue: hackmdio/codimd#245

It would be really cool to have a WebDav support, and this way to support Nextcloud and Owncloud instances. This would be a lot easier and faster than managing exports to Nextcloud for each changes (or each time you want to preview some file).

Then the Nextcloud community could also create an app to integrate directly CodiMD into Nextcloud as a Markdown editor.

Hello,

I have been asking @SISheogorath about this. My current issue is that even in plain view, I am getting a fairly reduced window when my browser is full screen on 1080p widescreen.

This was already raised in the former repository in issue hackmdio/codimd#1119

So far I managed to get a "satisfying" result by changing values in the build files (so, temporary) ./public/build/index.css and ./public/build/index-styles.css .
All I did was to change:
In ./public/build/index.css

.ui-infobar {               
    position: relative;     
    z-index: 2;             
    max-width: 1100px;      
    /* max-width: 758px; */ 
    margin-top: 25px;       
    margin-bottom: -25px;   
    color: #777;            
}                           

In ./public/build/index-styles.css :

    font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, "Segoe UI", Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif,  "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol";
    padding-top: 40px;
    padding-bottom: 40px;
    max-width: 1100px;
        overflow: visible !important;
}

To give a better idea, this is what I get:

• tablet size (Ipad)
  

• HD / 1280 px wide
  

• Full HD resolution
  

• Current, from demo instance:
  

A link to our all new mastodon account should go into this README but also onto CodiMDs index page. If you think this could/should go in other places as well, feel free to add suggestions! If you wish to discuss changes or have any other questions, please join our community forums or our matrix chat!

The link to be added: https://social.codimd.org/mastodon (which will then redirect to https://social.snopyta.org/@CodiMD )

Mastodon has a forkawesome icon: fa-mastodon or fa-mastodon-alt.

Seems like Keycloak has a passport adapter. First question - this doesn't seem to be baked into CodiMD yet, so is there a workaround? Second question - is there a pull request to add OAuth2 support for another provider that I could reference in making my own, if it came to that?

Hello,
I'd like to know wether it is possible to remove the footer in the presentation mode.

I'm running CodiMD directly on my server via SystemD. I collected two service files, that should be combined and that could go into /docs/setup/ for reference.

https://demo.codimd.org/svq0JObCToqyt3ZBCZ58og#

There's a few places where we use a different naming than our hsts library. People configuring via config.js will get a warning like this:

hsts deprecated The "includeSubdomains" parameter is deprecated. Use "includeSubDomains" (with a capital D) instead. app.js:85:18

It comes from this line here:

https://github.com/codimd/server/blob/de669c7b93a69966cee119ffda0da8b78e83a55a/app.js#L87

We have to decide what we do about it in a more general sense, though: we have this capitalisation in our own configs as well. Do we change this to also have the capital D? Does anyone even use this configuration option to change the value from its default?

https://github.com/codimd/server/search?q=includeSubdomains&unscoped_q=includeSubdomains

The toolbar stays dark if the editor is changed to day mode.
I would expect it to turn light as well.

(originally published here: hackmdio/codimd#1023, very loosely related to hackmdio/codimd#787, as this is very very focused on how document rendering itself can be extended)

Right now, a lot of rendering is extended in public/js/extra.js. Among other things, it handles highlighters, mermaid, video plugins and so on. For the following, I'll use mermaid as an example, because I'm familar with how it works.

I would love if we came up with a common interface for things like that. This way we could get much of the code out of extra.js, and we might end up with more extensions along the way!

Basically, Mermaid is applied in three steps.

• In highlightRender(), we're looking for a magic word like "mermaid", then a <div> with its raw content is returned.
  https://github.com/codimd/server/blob/152dfc23230c2575633a0321c855f37fcc50fb96/public/js/extra.js#L931-L932
• In finishView(view), all those divs are then looked up and processed.
  https://github.com/codimd/server/blob/152dfc23230c2575633a0321c855f37fcc50fb96/public/js/extra.js#L374-L394
• In case of mermaid, the bulk of processing comes from an external library (line 380, I believe), but this wouldn't have to be the case.

So basically, I propose a plugin or extension system that would take those commonalities so we could easily write more such additions, and also that could perhaps be lazy-loaded. Or they could even be distributed in a different way (think: their own NPM modules)

// example Document Extension
{
  keyword: 'mermaid',
  highlightRender: (code) => {
    // returns a html element for later processing
    return htmlElement;
  },
  finishView: (view) => {
    // modifies element in place
  }
}

perhaps we could even get away from that extra step and just pass an object reference right into finishView or something.

• Name: Is "Document Extensions" the right name?
• User expectation: how do we deal with different CodiMD instances offering different functionalities?
• Do we need anything more than what's proposed? Does ony one of you know other extensions that would need different things?

To make this clear: this is not coming to CodiMD any time soon unless somebody takes this up. I might start working on it after user profiles. But everyone is welcome to just take this suggestion.

hackmdio/codimd#419

I was trying to use codimd as a research tool and citation has quickly become a major problem.

You can see an example of how I was using in the following link.

The following features should be available:

• Automatic completion of citation, using either citation id or text based search using title.
• Automatic id generation for new entries. Now you can see that I am using a hacky way, and need to manually keep track of next available id.
• Would also be nice to remove the html anchor as it makes reading difficult.
• Ability to go back to previous position after jumping to the anchor. Now you can see that when I click on the internal anchor link and I use browser back button, it does not work as my previous reading position has no anchors. I am not exactly sure how it can be fixed but it disrupts the reading experience. One idea would be to have a small javascript embedded in the anchor link, which will remember the current position and jump back to it later.
• Ability to export all citations in bibtex compatible format, to facilitate writing in final latex document
• Even better would be to just export directly to latex

this is related to hackmdio/codimd#1222

Steps to reproduce:

• Go to https://demo.codimd.org (switch to intro tab if logged in!)
• Switch your locale in the locale dropdown, choose "Svenska"
• Go to any pad, for example https://demo.codimd.org/features

You'll receive an internal server error.

hackmdio/codimd#1174

Let us have multiple admins on a note. In the config panel of a note, a selector should let us add other owners.

Or implement a new concept of groups, and if a note is assigned to a group, anyone in the group can change the config? Not the same way at all, but maybe can solve the problem too.

In order to improve the CSP and restrict used images, I would like to add support for image proxies, servers that either optimize pictures or in general load pictures from remote sources in order to provide them in CodiMD.

This is relevant for external pictures that are hosted outside of the image upload integration of a server. As they can not be restricted right now and therefore leak privacy relevant data like IP-addresses, cookies and more. And image proxy will prevent that.

Clarification: I'm not about to implement the proxy feature itself within the CodiMD backend. The idea is to be able to run an external image proxy like imageproxy or camo and have the frontend rendering process replacing the image URLs accordingly.

This practice is also used on GitHub and other platforms.

I have a single note that I cannot change permissions for (or delete it). The permissions are displayed in the edit screen, but there is no arrow to open the dropdown. I have tested deletion with other notes successfully.

Hi,

I can see this has been fixed in master and on testing I can confirm this, however the latest release, 1.32 is still affected, having been produced prior to the merge.

This is the PR that fixes the issue.

Is there any chance you could push a new release so at least when people are grabbing the latest release it works? Seems less than ideal to have a non-working release to me.

Love the project!

Thanks

Hello,
I installed codimd to run under a subdomain. It is working fine so far, but when I access my other domains and Subdomains they also show my the codimd frontpage.
What can cause this issue?

Regards
Andi

socket-io used to use the referer field to determine the note-id. This was changed over a year ago towards the query part of the url. A backwards compatibility was left in place. I think it's time to remove that.

https://github.com/codimd/server/blob/321114db120c55885bee4dcbb66134f305733be6/lib/realtime.js#L280-L289

This was originally discussed in hackmdio/codimd#623 and changed in c4f8fb7

When jumping to a heading higher than your current location, using the table of contents, the navigation bar on the right, or a link in the document, the heading you jump to is hidden by the tool bar at the top of the page. When you scroll down, it slides up but when you scroll up, it slides down and that's what hides it.

For example, I went to the bottom of the features page where the footnotes are, clicked the return emoji for the first one, and this is where it took me to.

After you know what's happening, it's not an issue but it was weird until I figured out what was going on.

Collaborative markdown note taking is what we do. This definitely includes sharing links to other people. Be it on social media, in chats, email and more. A lot of those media implement a link preview, that provides a short abstract, a title and maybe a picture that appears on the linked page. The data used for those previews is usually obtained using the Open Graph protocol.

CodiMD doesn't provide any of those metadata for now, which causes some link preview implementations to simply take the title attribute, the first text that appears and the first picture in the HTML to create this preview.

In order to make the information shown in the link preview more valuable, it would be great to implement the Open Graph protocol for CodiMD.

Points to start with would be:

https://github.com/codimd/server/blob/c6384567b8cf51edac6b3056b8c5b4139b86bd20/public/views/index/head.ejs#L7-L9

and:

https://github.com/codimd/server/blob/c6384567b8cf51edac6b3056b8c5b4139b86bd20/public/views/codimd/head.ejs#L6-L7

If you want to build it nice and fancy, you may also want to create an abstract version of it in the shared views directory.

Finally, if you want to rock it completely, feel free to add some yaml metadata to modify it, but that's optional :)

Hi,

I would suggest the following concerning image uploads:

• make it possible to browse already uploaded images
• prefer usage of relative paths if possible
• include images in exported user data

Description:

I use the Docker version of CodiMD and have my images folder exposed and accessible within CodiMD as /uploads. When uploading an image CodiMD inserts it like ![](http://server.fqdn/uploads/upload_bd6ff6cfc1624f0dca604f8e390216d1.png) and it shows up.

Server URls can change so using ![](/uploads/upload_bd6ff6cfc1624f0dca604f8e390216d1.png) also works and would make it easier to move documents to other systems without the need of modifying the source of the Markdown files. (correctly it should be ![](uploads/upload_bd6ff6cfc1624f0dca604f8e390216d1.png)) without the / in front.

When relative addressing of images is in place, images that are on the server should be included within the exported user data.

When an image has been uploaded but the image has been removed from a Markdown document you have no clue what the original image name was eg. upload_bd6ff6cfc1624f0dca604f8e390216d1.png. If possible, a browse button for images located on the server should be implemented somehow.

Please don't see that as criticism, I absolutely love CodiMD and your great work, I only wanted to share some ideas.

Regards

Peter

Hi,

I have been using CodiMD with great success in book sprints, workshops and document-athons. But in all of them I have observed that starting all documents in CodiMD with breaks: false in the YAML metadata block seems contra-intuitive for most of the people who already know Markdown, as they expect no hard breaks with single new line feeds and paragraphs be started with two line feeds, as in most Markdown processors.

Following the principle of least surprise, could the breaks: false YAML directive be setup as a global preference for all pads created in a particular CodiMD instance? (making breaks: true the directive you want to enable at the beginning of documents, if you want single line feed hard breaks)

Thanks,

Here we are! CodiMD is running in an own organization. Hard forking is usually the last resort for an open source project, but we felt that it was neccessary for continued development and the future of CodiMD. If you wish to read up on the final debate that lead to this, please refer to the old bug tracker.

It's time to stand together and find our way through the jungle. In some regards, we are back to zero, and that's sad. But on the bright side, the issue tracker has a lot room for your problems! 🎉

Let's work together!

The new GitHub organization provides us with all the flexibility we need to work on our own terms. We already sent out invitations to various community project participants and will welcome people to join us.

You might wonder about the next steps. We currently rebuild the infrastructure parts that were in the hands of HackMD, like the container repository, and work on integrating services with our new home, which was previously more difficult.

With this done, we look towards a very interesting future:

One of the first actions we'll take is providing a fully documented and working API for CodiMD, which should allow you to import, export, create, delete and even modify your notes. You are welcome to participate in the debate about the API design.

APIs are great, but your eyes deserve some love, too: So we also started working on some UI/UX improvements. User Profiles will be continued and completed over here.

Finally, we also want to work on improving the connections and collaboration within the community. Our community forum should be up in a few days is up.

I'm looking forward to your ideas, inspiration and comments. Let everyone know, that CodiMD is not dead, it's reborn!

hackmdio/codimd#653

A page for each user, with the list of all owned notes.

Also, for ourselves, we must have the link for "My notes" in the tabs menu with "History" and "All notes" (#53).

If one day there is a group functionnality, in "My notes", we must see also notes owned by our groups. The purpose is to see "all notes where I'm admin, where I can change the config".
